SOFTWARE FOR MONITORING,

ANALYSING AND REPORTING
The SIT Software provides live graphical and
numerical results of each blow as well as
various quantities. Results can be presented
and reported together with the Site
Characteristic Signal, for a correct
interpretation of the test results.

The SIT runs on any Windows platform, using its

USB for connecting with the SIT Sensor The screen can be switched between the Basic and
Advanced mode. In the Advance mode, all options are
presented, in the Basic mode the advanced options are
masked

SITE CHARACTERISTIC SIGNAL

Low strain impact testing is based on the one-
dimensional stress wave theory. Measured are
reflections caused by changes in pile Individual signals can be plotted against the Site
impedance; change in pile diameter or Characteristic Signal, to distinguish reflections of the soil
material quality. Also the shaft friction from that of anomalies of the pile
generate reflections and is influencing the
signals. To distinguish reflections caused by soil Allnamics-SIT – 2

piles have to be compared to Site REPORTING

ALLWAVE-SIT FOR QUANTITATIVE

INTERPRETATION
In addition to the normal qualitative
interpretation, AllWave-SIT is available for
Signal Matching techniques to quantify
detected defects. The result of the AllWave-SIT
Signal Matching process are the dimensions of

ABOUT ALLNAMICS
Allnamics acts as an independent consultant for geotechnical engineering and piling works
(including design and pile installation monitoring and supervision), provides its clients with general
consultancy in foundation diagnostics as well as training and assistance in using Allnamics pile
testing hardware and software (including driveability prediction analysis and signal matching).
Allnamics assists clients in trouble shooting of complex project situations. Additionally, Allnamics
organizes courses and seminars to introduce clients into the theory, practice and interpretation of
foundation diagnostics using its experience from world-wide case histories since 1972.
